HC Deb 21 October 1912 vol 42 c1705
57. Mr. DUFFY

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the armed cruiser the "Indefatigable" was anchored during the entire day, Sunday, 6th October, off the Arran Isles, county Galway, and can he state how many Roman Catholics were on board; and why they were not allowed ashore to attend Divine service?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Dr. Macnamara)

The "Indefatigable" was anchored off Arran Island on Sunday, 6th October. The Roman Catholics on board—eighty-six in number—were not landed for Divine service, as the weather conditions were not favourable.
